1. "He spent an hour talking about his clarinet"

"One, I spent two hours on a date with a guy. He spent half an hour talking about his clarinet. Then he talked at length about the six year relationship he just got out of. Then, after two hours, we're leaving and he calls me Emily. My name is not Emily. Best part is that because he just broke up with his girlfriend, he just moved into a new apartment. In my building."

2. It does not get more awkward than this...

"I was on a third date with a guy I met on Tinder. The date was ending and I wasn't really feeling it and was gearing up to be an adult and explain to him that I wasn't interested in seeing him again and he gets a call. His grandma died. I sat in his car while he spent an hour on the phone with his mom crying."

3. Warning: this gets graphic...

"I went on a tinder date that was fairly normal. He was polite and we had good flow with conversation. Dinner and a movie, alls well. He walked me to my car and leaned in to kiss me. I was like 'okay, lets see how this goes'.

Worst face violation Ive ever experienced. It felt like he was encasing the entire bottom half of my face in between his smushy lips and then just started roving his tongue around. I could feel saliva pooling around my lips. I gave it five seconds and broke it off. Quite literally had to wipe the spit off my face with the back and front of my hand. I shudder when I think about it, even over a year later I can feel the phantom drool on my face."

4. Yeah, we can probably guess...

"It went very well except she is allergic to bees. And guess what happened halfway through the date."

5. At least somebody enjoyed themselves?

"He asked no questions and answered my questions with single word answers. He ended up awkwardly standing next to me sort of staring while we drank our beers in silence. I made an excuse and left the bar about 30 minutes after I got there. Imagine my surprise when he texted me for a second date because the first was "so much fun"."

6. A ballsy move...

"Not exactly my worst, but potentially most confounding. A completely different girl showed up to my date. I’m not talking clever use of camera angles. This was a completely different person.

I was honestly just amazed that someone had actually done this, and that I was witnessing it. It was one of those things that I’ve heard stories about from friends, but never actually experienced.

It was super weird. She mentioned facts about me as if she was the one I was messaging, so who knows. I left after a drink. Met up with some friends."

7. Not while you're eating!!

"I went on a date with a guy from Tinder and as we were eating, he told me about his visit to the doctor that day… I listened sympathetically as he told me how he ‘regularly produced massive stools’ due to him being a vegetarian, making tears in his ‘tiny anus,’ which he had to put cream on. Needless to say, I didn’t date him again!"

8. The cheek!

"On our fourth date, we went back to his place to watch football. We were on the couch and cuddling; he had his arm around me. He must have been disappointed that I was actually watching the football, because I looked over my shoulder and he was on Tinder literally behind my back looking for his next date. Then asked me when I wanted to see him again"
